    Thanks for the welcome. @ Reedfish, I have a Zebra Pleco, Corydoras,Flying fox, Coolie Loach, Bristle nose pleco, balla shark, a few tetras, and a few gouramis, and a butterfly pleco. I might be forgetting a few aswell.

    Sounds like a cool mix. What size tank do you have? Please post pics of your Zebra Pleco, I think that they have to be one of the most stunning little fish. In fact why not post pics of your tank?

    That is a stunning tank and I love the B&W gravel it gives it a really interesting look. You seem to still have a good amount of plants and growth, doesn't your Zebra plec mow them down? A friend of mine has some and he says that they mow down everything... I see that you also have a new tank, I'd be interested in seeing what that one looks like... What ideas do you have by way of fish for the new tank?

    New tank is arriving around the 15th december. Thinking of transferring all my fish into the new tank and selling the one in the pic.

    The zebra doesn't really eat my plants. I feed them algae tablets and they munch the algae in the tank. every now and then i give them zucchini as well.

    Whats a fair asking price for my current tank?

    You are going to have to give a list of all that is going with the tank, eg. Lights, heater, filter, pump, stand, lid etc so that we can give you a good estimate... Why don't you keep it though, and maybe turn it into a species, or planted tank? Or is that not really what you want to do?

    Tank is a 4ft tank, braced with sliding glass covers, Two 40 watt lights, one is a white colour and the other has a red tinge. There is a canister filter, 60 watt heater. basically a full setup that works great. oh and also an air pump.

    I would keep it but with the new tank i dont think i am going to have much space. recently sold a 4ft tank without cabinet for the exact same reason.
